October Favorites

I don't know about you but I'm having a hard time believing it's already November eeeek! I actually kinda look forward to the ends of months because that's when I blog about my favorites and read/watch other people's - these are some of my favorite types of posts/videos :) Without further ado, here are my October faves!

Sizi bilmiyorum ama Kasim ayinda oldugumuza inanmakta zorluk cekiyorum ben! Aslinda ay sonlarini abirsizlikla bekliyorum (biraz) cunku ay sonu demek favoriler postu demek, hem yazmayi hemde diger bloggerlarinkilerini okumayi cok seviyorum :) Lafi daha fazla uzatmadan, iste Ekim ayi favorilerim!


  The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Adore and Lip Butter in Red Velvet are new to my collection. Though it looks a little scary, Adore is an extremely wearable brick red. Red Velvet is a very rich, blue based, deep red which I find to be buildable. Onto some old faithfuls...First I have (yes, another Revlon product!) Carnation which is an opaque, medium, blue-based pink. Sure, it's not a typical lipstick shade for fall but I love it for fall anyway. MAC's pinky-beige Blankety also came out to play in October. It's been my most-reached-for nude lipstick all month. Lastly, I have MAC's Lovelorn which is a medium blue/pink. Due to its lustre finish it's semi-sheer thus making it more wearable.

Yeni oyuncaklarim Revlon Adore ve Red Velvet'a merhaba diyin. Adore paketinde koyu bir renk gibi gorunsede aslinda bildigimiz kiremit rengi. Red Velvet ise mavi alt tonlu koyu kirmizi. Eski favorilerimden ise yine bir Revlon ruju olan mavi alt tonlu pembe olan Carnation'a yeniden kavustum. Aslinda rengine bakilinca akla gelen mevsim yaz olan Carnation'i ben nedense sonbahar mevsimine cok yakistiriyorum. Son iki favorimde MAC'ten, Blankety ve Lovelorn. Lovelorn'un Lustre bitisinde olusunu ve dolayisiyla opak olmayisini seviyorum, gunluk kullanim icin super.

Revlon Adore, MAC Lovelorn, MAC Blankety, Revlon Carnation, Revlon Red Velvet

Fall was definitely on my cheeks in October with NARS Taj Mahal and NARS Lovejoy and theBalm Cabana Boy.

Sonbahar renkleri yanaklarimdan eksik olmadi Ekim ayinda. En cok NARS'in Taj Mahal ve Lovejoy'unu birde theBalm'in Cabana Boy isimli alligini surundum.


I have dug up two of my limited edition Wet n Wild palettes, Golden Goddess and Sugar Plum Fairy. Both palettes are perfect for fall! Of course, I couldn't conclude the eyeshadows part without a Burberry eyeshadow. Good news, I finally got over Pale Barley. I still do love it. I have, since, been obsessing over Midnight Brown. It's one of those rare colors you can wear on its own and it still looks beautiful.

Farlara goz atalim hemen. Wet n Wild'in gecen kis cikardigi ve limited edition olan Golden Goddess ve Sugar Plum Fairy altili paletleri epey kullandim. Tabii ki favorilerimde bir Burberry fari olmadan olmaz! Sonunda Pale Barley etkisinden kurtuldum. Simdide Midnight Brown'suz bir hayat dusunemez oldum. Isiltili koyu kahverengi ve icinde kucucuk rengarenk simleri olan, kendi basina bile sahane bir goz makyaji yaratabilen nadir farlardan biri bence.

Sephora by O.P.I. Traffic Stopper Copper, Nails Inc. Sloane Square, Essie Leading Lady, Orly Rage, Sephora by O.P.I On Stage, Zoya Mata Hari
I have reached for these pretties the most in October, it's pretty self-explanatory although I have to add that Nails Inc. Sloane Square is the easiest to remove nail polish I have ever experienced. I am not sure if this applies to all Nails Inc. glitter polishes as this was my first one.

Ekim ayi favori ojelerimde boyle, fazla soylenecek birsey yok. Ama sunu eklemeliyim ki, Nails Inc. in yukarida gordugunuz Sloane Square neredeyse tamamen simden olusan bu ojesi hayatimda gordugum cikarilmasi en kolay simli oje! Nails Inc.'in butun simli ojelerimi boyle acaba?!


Lastly, I have developed an enormous love for Bath and Body Works' new scent, Cashmere Glow. It has fall written all over it. The notes in this scent are vanilla, peach and musk. I personally don't pick up peach but vanilla and musk are definitely in it. I picked up the travel-sized trio in the cute packaging with gold bow 1. because I couldn't resist the bow and 2. because we're going on vacation next month, perfect! The individual one was free with a Bath and Body Works coupon.

Son favorim ise Bath and Body Works'un yeni kokusu Cashmere Glow. Bath and Body Works notalari: vanilya, seftali ve misk olarak belirtmis. Ben sahsen seftaliyi pek alamadim, daha cok vanilya ve misk gibi geldi. Seyahat boyu ucluyu almamin nedeni ise 1. Kutusu cok tatli, altin fiyonka bayildim, almazsam aklim kalirdi. 2. Onumuzdeki ay tatile gidiyoruz, cok isime yarayacak bu uclu! Ondeki tekli ise Bath and Body Works kuponuyla bedavaya geldi.

Fall Faves // Nail Polishes


 
I have been very into fall nails lately and thought I'd share my favorite nail polishes that I have on rotation this fall with you all.

Son zamanlarda tirnaklarimdan sonbaharimsi ojeler eksik olmuyor, bu yuzden de su siralar sevdigim sonbahar ojelerimi sizlerle paylasmak istedim.

Sephora by O.P.I. On Stage, Revlon Facets of Fuchsia, O.P.I. Lincoln Park at Midnight

My absolutely must-have nail polish for fall has been OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight for years. I may be biased as I live in Chicago and this was part of the Chicago collection :) I just have a thing for blackened bases (especially purple!) with micro glitter which Lincoln Park at Midnight exactly is.

Olmazsa olmaz sonbahar ojem, vazgecilmezim, senelerdir OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight. Acababu Chicago'da yasadigim ve bu oje Chicago koleksiyonun bir uyesi oldugu icin olabilir mi? Ama yok, benim karartilmis oje bazlarina (ozellikle morlara!) ve icinde minnak mor pirilti olan ojelere karsi bir hayranligim var, bkz Lincoln Park at Midnight :)

Since adding it to my collection last year (after much scouring and stalking of local drugstores) Revlon's Facets of Fucshia has been an absolute favorite. It has a blackened purple base with big chunks of fucshia hexagonal and much smaller pieces of glitter. Now every beauty has its thorns. This beauty requires 3 coats to get it to be completely opaque. Removal of this nail polish is a very painful process. I think it's the hardest to remove nail polish I have ever encountered in my life. Its beauty justifies the cons though!

Revlon'un Facets of Fucshia'si aldigimdan beri cok severek kullandigim bir oje. Bazi karartilmis mor ve icinde irili ufakli sim dolu olan bu guzel ojenin uygulamasi biraz yorucu cunku opaklik icin 3 kat gerekiyor. Cikarmasi ise tam bir kabus! Hayatimda bu kadar zor cikan bir ojeye daha once rastlamadim. Ama guzelligi paha bicilmez, onun icinde katlaniyorum.

Next, I have On Stage by Sephora by O.P.I. I would describe it as a creamy, smokey mauve/purple. It definitely screams autumn in my opinion. It doesn't have any shimmer or glitter thus making it more wearable for any setting.

Siradaki renk Sephora by O.P.I.'dan On Stage. Kremsi, dumanli leylak/mor. Tipik, sonbahar diye bagiran bir renk bana gore. Icinde sim ve pirilti olmayasi her ortamda kolayca kullanilabilecek bir oje yapiyor kendisini.

Butter London All Hail the Queen, Essence Date with the Night, Orly Rage, Zoya Ibiza

 Orly Rage is a metallic bronze/rose-gold with silver glitter that creates a foil-like effect on nails. I enjoy layering it with Sephora by OPI Traffic Stopper-Copper, my favorite combo this fall, so far!

Metalik, pembe altinla bronz karisimi Orly Rage tirnaklarda folyo etkisi yaratmakta oldukca basarili. Son zamanlarda ozellikle Sephora by O.P.I.'in Traffic Stopper-Copper'i ile beraber kullanmaya bayiliyorum!
For some reason I am not really drawn into nude polishes this fall but I do love my tried and trusted and gorgeous All Hail The Queen by Butter London. It has tiny multi-color micro glitter which aren't visible to the naked eye unless inspected closely.


Nedense bu sonbahar nude ojelere elim bir turlu gitmiyor tabi Butter London'in All Hail The Queen'i haric. Icinde minicik rengarenk simleri olsada dikkatli bakmadikca pek gorunmuyorlar. Her ortamda rahatlikla kullanilabilecek, gunluk bir oje.

One of my newest nail polishes, Essence Date with the Night quickly became a favorite for this fall. It's a metallic pewter which looks great alone or topped with Nails Inc. Sloane Square. Only problem I have with this nail polish is its application which is due to size of the brush.

En yeni ojelerimden Essence Date with the Night hemen favorilerim arasina girmeyi basardi. Metalik ve kursunumsu cok hos bir renk ama surulusu fircanin kucuklugunden dolayi biraz ugrastiriyor. Tek basinada guzel duruyor ama ben Nails Inc.'in Sloane Square'iyle beraber cok seviyorum.

I'm not really a blue nail polish person (I simply don't like the way shades of blue looks with my skin tone or hands) with the exception of Zoya Ibiza which is a shade of blue that nearly looks black. It's a shimmery, blackened navy.

Mavi ojelerle pek aram yoktur aslinda (ellerime ve ten rengime bir turlu yakistiramadigim bir renk, halbuki renk olarak cok severim!) ancak gel gorki Zoya'nin yakindan bakilmadikca siyaha calan ama aslinda cok guzel simli lacivert ojesi Ibiza sonbahar icin vazgecilmezlerim arasinda.

Essie Leading Lady, Flormar #352, Zoya Mata Hari, Sephora by O.P.I. I'm With Brad
Essie Leading Lady definitely screams Christmas in fact it's part of Essie's Winter 2012 collection but I am already rocking this beautiful red with red pieces of glitter. It's too prety not to!

Essie'nin 2012 Kis koleksiyonundan Leading Lady aslinda Noel ve kis diye bagirsada ben simdiden severek kullaniyorum, kisa kendimi alistiriyorum! Kirmizi bazli ve icinde kirmizi minik simleri olan Leading Lady'yi tum kirmizi severlere siddetle tavisye ediyorum!

My classic go-to simple no-fuss red is Flormar's #352. It's a very easy to wear reddish burgundy with no shimmer or glitter. I reach for this a lot when I simply don't know what to paint my nails with.

Tabii ki bir Flormar olmasi gerekiyordu bu postta. O da tam bir klasik bordo/kirmizi 352. Ozellikle
"ay ne sursem" dedigim gunlerde hic dusunmeden elime aldigim renktir kendisi.


Up next is Zoya's Mata Hari, a shimmery dark red with gold sheen. I have wanted a shade like this for ages and finally after many failed attempts I have found it.

Sonuncu favorim ise Zoya'dan Mata Hari isimli simli ve tirnaklara suruldugunde uzerinde altinimsi bir etki yaratan koyu kirmizi bir oje. Ben cok uzun zaman bu rengi aradigim, hic ummadigim bir anda karsima cikti. Biraz hareketli ama abartisiz bir kirmizi arayanlara tavsiye edilir.

Finally we have Sephora by O.P.I.'s I'm With Brad which is a vampy dark brownish red with red shimmer.

What nail polishes are you loving this fall?
Sizin bu sonbahar favori ojeleriniz neler?

Favorite Highlighters


Beauty blogger confession: I didn't own a single highlighter until I started reading beauty blogs/blogging! Shock horror! After seeing all the beautiful highlighter photos and swatches all over the blogosphere, I knew I had to get my hands on some. Needless to say I, since then, went from one extreme to another and converted into a highlighter addict.

Itiraf ediyorum, guzellik bloglarini okumaya baslayana ve bu blogu acana dek tek bir tane aydinlaticim dahi yoktu. Takip ettigim bloglarda baktim bir aydinlaticidir gidiyor, bende hemen birkac tane edineyim dedim. O zamandan beri adeta bir aydinlatici bagimlisina donustum.


Dior Amber Diamond

Who is surprised? Amber Diamond to me is the queen of all highlighters. It's a very versatile champagne-gold, shimmery highlighter that looks good with pretty much any kind of look. It leaves a nice, subtle light gold sheen on skin. Depending on the look, I also sweep it down the bridge of my nose, on brow bone and upper lip too.

Sasiran? Bana gore aydinlaticilarin kralicesi olan Amber Diamond ne tur makyaj yapilirsa yapilsin kesinlikle makyaj butunlestiren ve tamamlayan olmazsa olmaz urunlerimden biri. Ben butun renkleri karistirarak elmacik kemiklerimin ustune uyguluyorum. Ayrica makyaja gore icin burun kemiginin ve dudak ustune ayni zamanda kasin hemen altinada uyguladigimda oluyor.

theBalm Betty-Lou Manizer

Depending on your skin tone, this may either be a shimmery gold bronzer, a highlighter or both. I personally am not a fan of shimmery bronzers because I use them to contour my face and wouldn't want shimmer on those areas. For me Betty-Lou Manizer makes a perfect gold highlight. I especially love using it on tanned cheek bones during summer. 

Cilt tonunuza gore Betty-Lou Manizer ya piriltili bir bronzer, aydinlatici ya da her ikiside olabilir. Ben piriltili bronzerlardan pek haz etmedigim icin (cunku ben bronzeri yuzumu kontor yapmakta kullaniyorum ve yuzumun her yerinde isilti olmasini sevmiyorum) Betty-Lou'yu aydinlatici olarak ozellikle yaz aylarinda yanik tene cok yakistiriyorum.

Guerlain Meteorites Perles - Teint Beige

In my swatches below Teint Beige looks like I swatched powdered sugar on my hand but that's only because these little shimmery balls contain the tiniest pieces of glitter which my camera just doesn't pick up. (That justifies my need of a new camera!) On my face, however, it's a very subtle sheen that can easily be worn during the day time. I especially love to pair the Meteorites with a matte blush to jazz it up a little!

Asagidaki swatchimda Teint Beige'in sanki pudra sekeri swatchlamisim gibi gorundugunun farkindayim ama bunun nedeni bu minik piriltili toplarin iclerindeki ufacik piriltilarin kameramda bir turlu gorunmemesi. (Bu da yeni bir kamera ihtiyacim dogruluyor sanirim!) Yuzumde cok, cok hafif bir pirilti birakan Meteorites mat alliklarla cok guzel kombinler yaratiyor.


MAC White Dusk

If you want a J-lo type of glow, then White Dusk is your best friend. It's the epitome of J-lo glow. I wouldn't be surprised to find out this is what her makeup artists use on her. Like the name suggests, it's is silver thus creating more of a cool look. It also works beautifully as under the brow highlighter.

Eger J-lo vari bir isilti istiyorsaniz ve bunu yaratacak aydinlaticiyi hala bulamadiysaniz White Dusk'i denemeden bu arayistan vazgecmeyin derim. Ilk bakista rengi biraz fazla bagiran beyazimsi gumus, hatta biraz da korkunc. Yuzde elmacik kemiklerine cool bir gorunum katmak icin ideal. Ayrica kas alti ve goz pinarini aydinlatmada birebir.

MAC Redhead

Redhead is a shimmery salmon that does a great job adding warmth to my face. It doesn't show up as intense as it looks in my swatches below but leaves a light coral sheen.

Piriltili somon renginde olan Redhead yuzume sicaklik katmakta oldukca basarili. Yuzumde swatchlarimdaki kadar yogun oldugunu soyleyemem. Benim tenimde daha cok acik mercan renginde bir parlaklik birakiyor.

MAC Crew

Crew is a light pinky coral that has very light shimmer, it almost looks matte. It translates on my skin as a very light baby pink. I also do use it as a blush sometimes.

Crew neredeyse mat olan ve tek acik pembe aydinlaticim. O yuzden yeri ayri benim icin ;) Cok acik bir tonda olmasina ragmen yuzumde allik olarak kullanabilecek kadar gorunuyor o yuzden bazen allik olarakta kullandigim oluyor.

September Favorites

Hey everyone!

I returned from vacation 2 weeks ago but thanks to post-vacation blues I had not been feeling up to updating my blog. Realizing how abandoned it looks today, I decided to revive it by sharing my much belated September favorites with you.

Herkese selam!

Tatilden 2 hafta once donmeme ragmen tatil sonrasi depresyonundan bir turlu cikip adeta terkedilmis blogumu guncelleyemedim. Bugun ne kadar cansiz oldugunu farkettigim blogumu Eylul ayi favorilerimle yeniden canlandirmaya karar verdim. 



Before leaving for vacation, I got pretty autumnal with my eye makeup. Some of my favorites were the namazing Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows, in Pomegranate Punk and Moss Green. Both are very pigmented, hence they look brand new...they will last me a very long time! I have also enjoyed Laura Mercier's metallic cream eye color in Burnished Copper. I will definitely be getting more of these! Purple is an all year round color for me, but this shade of purple is especially perfect for fall. It is double ended with a shadow on one side and a liner on the other. They are both pigmented and very easy to blend for a smoked out but subtle purple look.

Tatile gitmeden once goz makyajimda sonbahar renkleri kullanmaya coktan baslamistim bile. Favorilerim arasinda Maybelline Color Tattoo krem farlarinin Pomegranate Punk ve Moss Green'i vardi. Ayni zamanda Laura Mercier'nin Burnished Copper rengindeki metalik krem farinida kullandim, kesinlikle birkac rengini daha istiyorum! Mor benim butun sene boyunca kullandigim bir renk ama bu Tarte kalem/far'in tonu ozellikle sonbahar icin super. Bir ucunda kalem, diger ucunda far olusunuda ayri bir seviyorum. Abartisiz, dumanli mor goz makyaji icin severek kullaniyorum.


A product I purchased shortly before my travels has been my most favorite in September. And that is the amazing Hourglass concealer in Natural. It highlights the undereye area beautifully without settling into little cracks and lasts for a good 6-7 hours. Before I went to Turkey, shade Natural barely showed up on my skin and could easily be used on other parts of my face. These days, I can only use it as highlight under eyes (I got much more tanned than I ever thought I would in September) but I'm not complaining! Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation's light texture made it perfect for use in warmer temperatures of Istanbul and Bodrum. It's a great everyday, light coverage foundation that has a dewy finish. Burberry Sheer Foundation has been my go to setting powder since purchasing it last month. It lasts for hours on my normal skin without budging and provides a flawless, velvety finish.

Turkiye'ye gitmeden hemen once satin aldigim Hourglass kapatici (Natural tonu) Eylul ayi favorilerim icinde en sevdigim urundu. Bu urunu almamin nedeni goz altlarimi aydinlatmakti. Aydinlatmakta ustune yok diyebilirim ki herkes YSL Touche Eclat'i ne kadar sevdigimi bilir, uzgunum Touche. Goz altinda bir yerde birikmeyisi ve yaklasik 6-7 saat kaliciligini korumasi bu urunu benim gozumde muhtesem kiliyor. Turkiye'ye gitmeden once Natural goz altlarimda pek gorunmuyor hatta normal kapatici olarak yuzumun herhangi bir yerinde kullanilabiliyordu. Ben nereden bileyim Eylul ayinda Bodrum'da bu kadar yanabilecegimi!!! :) Su siralar ancak goz alti kapaticisi ve aydinlaticisi olarak kullanabiliyorum, ama sikayetcide degilim. Bourjois'nin Healthy Mix fondoteninin hafif yapisi sicak havalarda cok isime yaradi. Kapatici ozelligi orta derecede olsada yaz icin guzel bir fondoten. Burberry Sheer fondotenimide sabitleyici olarak bayagi bir kullandim, cizgileri yavas yavas yok olmaya basladi bile!


Two favorites from L'occitane; Almond Supple Skin Oil and Pivoine Flora hand cream. The almond oil makes a perfect post-sunbathing treat for the dehydrated skin. I used it everyday after sun exposure to hydrate my skin. I actually didn't even need to use lotion thanks to this oil. It has a very pleasant scent that lingers on skin for a couple of hours, which I love! The hand cream came in super handy during a 10+ hour flight. It may just be the most hydrating hand cream ever, without being greasy. It melts into my skin, leaving a very light peony scent behind. 

**If you'd like to try the classic L'occitane shea butter hand cream for free, then head on over to their Facebook page, "like" and fill out the form. They will email you a coupon that you can redeem in store.**

Favorilerim arasinda iki L'occitane urunude vardi bu ay. Ilki Almond Supple vucut yagi, digeri ise Pivoine Flora el kremi. Vucut yagi, yanmis ve dolayisiyla nemlendirilmeye ihtiyaci olan cilt icin gercekten mukemmel bir urun. Tatilde butu gunu yanarak gecirdikten sonra, dus sonrasi krem yerine hep bu yagi kullandim. Birkac saat ciltte kalan cok hos bir kokusu var. 10 kusur saatlik ucak yolculuklarinda olmazsa olmazlarimin arasinda el kremi gelir. Fakat ben Pivoine Flora'ya rastlayana kadar gercekten nemlendiren ve vicik vicik olmayan bir el kremi bulamamistim. Siddetle tavsiye ediyorum, ozellikle kis aylarinda cok isime yarayacak!

I randomly walked into a drugstore in Istanbul and saw a huge Essence display with products I have never seen on an Essence display at Ulta. (I wanted to buy everything!) This nude lipgloss caught my attention because...I mean look at the color! It quickly became a favorite. It's much more pigmented than I thought a $2 lipgloss would be. I think this is the nudest lip gloss I have ever seen, even more nude than MAC's Underage. The shade is called Nude Candy. Revlon's Fabulous Fig made its return in September as well. I have not used it since last fall and even then you can see that I haven't used it a whole lot. I personally like to just dab it on to get just a bit of festive dark red on my lips.

Gratis ziyaretlerimden birinde gorudugum kocaman Essence standi beni benden aldi diyebilirim. Ama dikkatimi ceken urunlerin basinda Nude Candy isimli bu seker lipgloss vardi. Evet sadece rengi icin aldim, pismanda degilim. Hayatimda gordugum en nude gloss sanirim, yani MAC'in Underage'indende nude, oyle soyleyeyim. Eylul ayi beraberinde Revlon'un cok sevdigim (ama cesaret edipte ciddi anlamda kullanamadigim) Fabulous Fig'i de beraberinde getirdi. En son gecen sonbaharda kullandigim bu guzelim koyu kirmizi ruju ben ancak dudaklarima hafifce surerek kullanabiliyorum. Insallah bu sene korkmadan kullanacagim bu rengi :)

And I leave you with a few photos from my vaca! ;)

What's in my travel makeup bag...

The time has come for me to travel to faraway lands again. I vow to travel light this time. To do that I went ahead and purchased the Muji travel cosmetics bag that I have seen on the lovely Lil Lady's Life blog last year.

Uzak diyarlara gitme zamanim yine geldi. Bu sefer valizimi ivir zivirla doldurmamaya and ictim. Onun icinde gecen sene Lil Lady's Life blogunda gordugum Muji seyahat kozmetik cantasini satin aldim. 




This structured bag is generous in size and will still fit more products than necessary. But it is much smaller compared to bags I have used in the past. I prefer to bring my makeup bag on board with me to avoid anything happening to my makeup. (We all know how airport people throw suitcases, I just couldn't...) And this Muji bag leaves enough space in my must-have-travel-bag Longchamp Le Pliage for other essentials.

Bu yapili cantacik onceki senelerde kullandigim cantalardan daha kucuk ama yinede yeri bol. Ben makyaj malzemelerini ucagin icine getirenlerdenim. Hepimiz biliyoruz havaalani calisanlarinin valizlerimizi nasil firlattiklarini. Onlara birsey olacagina, biraz omuz agrisi cekerim diye dusunuyorum. Ayrica bu Muji cantasi seyahat ederken olmazsa olmazim Longchamp Le Pliage cantamin icinde diger gerekli seyahat seyleri icin bayagi bir yer birakiyor.



Foundation: Since I will become tanner, I am taking a foundation that I have used on my darker days and know how it works in warm weather. And that is Bourjois Healthy Mix in #55. The fact that it has a light texture makes it perfect for this trip. I am also taking my Garnier BB cream because it's very moisturizing and my skin sometimes dries while trying to adjust to a new climate.

Fondoten: Bronzlasacagim icin yanima normal ten rengimden daha koyu bir fondoten aliyorum. O da Bourjois Healthy Mix #55. Yapisi hafif oldugu icin sicak havalar icin ideal. Ayrica son zamanlarda cok severek kullandigim Garnier BB kremimde benimle geliyor. Bazen cildim iklim farkina hemen ayak uyduramiyor ve kuruyabiliyor bu BB kremin nemlendirici ozelligi oldugu icin uygun oldugunu dusundum.

Powder: I've been so happy with my Burberry Sheer Foundation so I thought why not bring it along. It does come in bulky packaging but since I have compromised in other areas I don't feel so bad carrying it.

Pudra: Burberry Sheer Foundation pudramdan cok memnunum. Evet kutusu biraz iri ve fazla yer tutacak ama diger alanlarda odun verdigim icin geliyor benimle.

Bronzer: One of my all time favorites, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil. I have been wanting to at least hit pan on it because I had it for way too long. Hopefully using only this bronzer will make a small dent in it while I'm away.

Bronzlastirici: Tum zamanlarin en sevdigim bronzlastiricisi Too Faced Chocolate Soleil. O kadar uzun zaman once aldim ki, en azindan birazda olsa dibini gormek istedigim icin benimle gelecek olan tek bronzer.

Blush: I am only taking 2 blushes, one peach & one pink - MAC Peaches & Benefit Bella Bamba.

Allik: 1 pembe, 1 seftali yeter diye dusunup sadece 2 allik aliyorum, onlarda MAC Peaches ve Benefit Bella Bamba.

Highlighter: of choice is none other than Dior Amber Diamond. 2 reasons for that, yes it's my favorite highlighter ever but also it doubles up as a mirror which for me is a must-have.

Aydinlatici: Vazgecilmezim Dior Amber Diamond. Hem kompakt hemde aynali olusu kendisini seyahat icin uygun kiliyor. Her cantaya bir ayna lazim sonucta!

Concealer: I chose MAC studio finish concealer for spots that may be randomly appearing on my face.

Kapatici: Olurda yuzumde aniden sivilce ya da baska bir saheser cikarsa diye yanima MAC studio finish kapaticimida aliyorum.


I purchased a small Z palette which fits 9 MAC eyeshadows or 5 MAC eyeshadows and a MAC blush. I think the latter just makes perfect sense!

Icine 9 MAC far ya da 5 far + 1 allik sigabilen kucuk Z paletlerden edindim birde.

Eyeshadows: I have picked out mainly MAC eyeshadows (the ones in the Z palette are all MAC) both because I love them and they take nearly no space. Colors are Phloof!, Wedge, Woodwinked, Mythology, Twinks. Burberry Pale Barley and Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze made the cut as well. For base, I have MAC paint pot in Nubile.

Farlar: Yine cogunlukla MAC'ten hem cok sevdigim icin hemde kutularinda olmadiklari ve neredeyse hic yer tutmayacaklari icin. Sectigim renkler: Phloof!, Wedge, Woodwinked, Mythology ve Twinks. Ayrica son zamanlarda resmen bagimli oldugum Burberry Pale Barley ve Maybelline Color Tattoo Bad to the Bronze'da cantamda. Baz olarakta vazgecilmezim olan Nubile paint pot.

Eyeliner: I like a good smudged eyeliner during summer and I have just the perfect eyeliner for that. The Sue Devitt eye intensifier pencil in Kenya. For variety I'm taking my Korres black pencil eyeliner too.

Goz Kalemi: Yazin dagitilmis kalemi seviyorum ben. Onun icinde Sue Devitt Kenya rengindeki eye intensifier kalemim ideal. Ayrica ne olur ne olmaz diye birde siyah kalem aliyorum, o da Korres'den.

Mascara: is of course a must-have. I don't wear any makeup to the beach so I won't be needing a waterproof one. I'm just taking my good ol' L'oreal Voluminous.

Maskara: Plaja giderken makyaj yapmak hic adetim olmadigindan waterproof maskara almak icin sebep gormedim. Sadece en cok sevdigim ve yillardir kullandigim L'oreal Voluminous. 


Lipsticks: I decided to go for some trusted all time favorites.  Lipsticks I chose are Revlon Lip butter in sweetheart and MAC Hue. For a peachier lip, I will be taking Revlon Kissable Lip Stain in Charm.

Rujlar: Gelelim rujlara...onlarin sayisinida ikiye indirmeyi basardim. MAC Hue ve Revlon Sweetheart lip butter'in yeterli olacagini dusunuyorum. Rujla balm karisimi olan Revlon Charm'imda bizimle.

Lipglosses etc.: Again I'm only taking 2 and they are YSL Gloss Pur #2 and Clarins Natural Lip Perfector #2. Of course my EOS lip balm is coming with me too!

Parlaticilar: Ne hikmetse hep ikilerden gitmisim...2 tanede lipgloss! Onlarda YSL Gloss Pur #2 ve Clarins natural lip perfector #2 (Renklerin isimlerinde dahi 2 var!) Tabii ki EOS lip balmimda benimle geliyor!

For brushes, I am using the pretty brushroll the lovely Bubblegarm has gifted me. I love how perfect this brushroll is, it fits all my essentials and it happened to fit perfectly in this Muji bag!

Fircalarim icin sevgili Bubblegarm'in bana hediye ettigi firca cantasini kullaniyorum. Ihtiyacim olan butun fircalarimi icine sigdirabiliyorum ayrica bu Muji cantanin icinede sanki bu canta icin yapilmis gibi sigiverdi :)

What do you think, have I done a good job packing light?
Sizce cantam nasil olmus?
